It does to the people who were genuinely cheering if they realised it was real hurt. On both sides though I suspect most of it was cheering at a hit rather than wishing any harm on the opposition player. I was more baffled at the boos being shouted when Prescott was being treated for his nose injury.

Agreed, I'd never cheer for any player getting injured, Playing the game myself I respect anyone that takes part in it and wouldn't wish injury on anyone. I think the booing for Prescott was because he had stayed on the field instead of going to the blood bin and so created a break in the game.

I've just watched it back, and frankly the bias from Eddie is reaching levels where it is ruining the broadcast.

Statements like "Stevo, he has to give St Helens more penalties" and generally the lack of interest in his voice with anything skillful Wigan do, compared to the GIDLEY at the smallest of runs. Eddie we know you hate us, but try and be professional.

As Maddogg said Rl on Sky needs an overhaul to bring it up to standard.

I managed to catch the replay of the game earlier, and its just disgraceful how Eddie & Stevo make out Saints have scored a try when they're about two yards out and don't even give Wigan a chance to get a say.
eg. the wilkin 'a yard out & held up' try.
They were both celebrating almost when they 'thought' he'd scored- pathetic

Eddie was on form again yesterday with his negative comments.

When is he not on form?

Phil Clarke and Barry McDermott for 2011 please Sky.

I watched the highlights just and im sure they said saints had scored TWICE and they hadnt PMSL

MMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no forward pass.

Tool.

Dont count on it, knowing our luck, we'll draw them in the cup away and get battered.

We're gonna purposely lose at Bramall Lane! Seriously, we'll draw them again and beat them again.

even when Hemmings was giving the league table at the end of the show he couldnt bring himself to say Wigan are at the top, he started with Wire being below us then carried on

watchin the replay back what really made me laugh was when eddie says about gleesons hand off on wilkin ,when wilkin complained to thaler eddie was straight in with a comment about a open handed slap obviously never played the game time for sky to ditch the pair of half wits,saying that stevo and clarkie seemed to distance themselves from the idiot

Every time Eddie mentions the league positions he says something along the lines of 'Wigan at the top with Warrington and St Helens breating down their necks'.

Now if St Helens or Wire or Leeds were at the top he would be saying they were 'flying high at the top of table' with no mention to anyone breathing down their necks.

I wouldn't want Barrie Mac he gets on my nerves.

I would like the bloke of Sky Sports news who did the RL coverage during the world cup, him and Phil Clarke.

Just watched the game again for the 3rd time and when O'Loughlin breaks out of the scrum you want to hear Eddie

"Ermmm????? ....hang on??!!!!! How on earth did that come about, we'll have a look at that later.

I never spotted Eddie being biased against us until reading things on here but now I do.
